1 8.4.2 Commands For Manipulating The History
1 -------------------------------------------
1
1 'accept-line (Newline or Return)'
1 Accept the line regardless of where the cursor is. If this line is
1 non-empty, add it to the history list according to the setting of
1 the 'HISTCONTROL' and 'HISTIGNORE' variables. If this line is a
1 modified history line, then restore the history line to its
1 original state.
1
1 'previous-history (C-p)'
1 Move 'back' through the history list, fetching the previous
1 command.
1
1 'next-history (C-n)'
1 Move 'forward' through the history list, fetching the next command.
1
1 'beginning-of-history (M-<)'
1 Move to the first line in the history.
1
1 'end-of-history (M->)'
1 Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the line currently
1 being entered.
1
1 'reverse-search-history (C-r)'
1 Search backward starting at the current line and moving 'up'
1 through the history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
1
1 'forward-search-history (C-s)'
1 Search forward starting at the current line and moving 'down'
1 through the history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
1
1 'non-incremental-reverse-search-history (M-p)'
1 Search backward starting at the current line and moving 'up'
1 through the history as necessary using a non-incremental search for
1 a string supplied by the user. The search string may match
1 anywhere in a history line.
1
1 'non-incremental-forward-search-history (M-n)'
1 Search forward starting at the current line and moving 'down'
1 through the history as necessary using a non-incremental search for
1 a string supplied by the user. The search string may match
1 anywhere in a history line.
1
1 'history-search-forward ()'
1 Search forward through the history for the string of characters
1 between the start of the current line and the point. The search
1 string must match at the beginning of a history line. This is a
1 non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
1
1 'history-search-backward ()'
1 Search backward through the history for the string of characters
1 between the start of the current line and the point. The search
1 string must match at the beginning of a history line. This is a
1 non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
1
1 'history-substr-search-forward ()'
1 Search forward through the history for the string of characters
1 between the start of the current line and the point. The search
1 string may match anywhere in a history line. This is a
1 non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
1
1 'history-substr-search-backward ()'
1 Search backward through the history for the string of characters
1 between the start of the current line and the point. The search
1 string may match anywhere in a history line. This is a
1 non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
1
1 'yank-nth-arg (M-C-y)'
1 Insert the first argument to the previous command (usually the
1 second word on the previous line) at point. With an argument N,
1 insert the Nth word from the previous command (the words in the
1 previous command begin with word 0). A negative argument inserts
1 the Nth word from the end of the previous command. Once the
1 argument N is computed, the argument is extracted as if the '!N'
1 history expansion had been specified.
1
1 'yank-last-arg (M-. or M-_)'
1 Insert last argument to the previous command (the last word of the
1 previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave exactly
1 like 'yank-nth-arg'. Successive calls to 'yank-last-arg' move back
1 through the history list, inserting the last word (or the word
1 specified by the argument to the first call) of each line in turn.
1 Any numeric argument supplied to these successive calls determines
1 the direction to move through the history. A negative argument
1 switches the direction through the history (back or forward). The
1 history expansion facilities are used to extract the last argument,
1 as if the '!$' history expansion had been specified.
